CC2's Naruto games have some of the sweetest and most satisfying special attacks around. They just look and feel awesome

I've really lost all interest in the anime/manga, but I still might buy this.
The demo was loads of fun.

I hate the anime/manga but the demo was actually quite awesome.

Was the release date really switched to the same day as Resistance 2? If so no way I'll have time to play this :(.
 
Looking pretty sweet. I'm going to be all over this, and Broken Bond when they're released. I can't wait till they get to the Shippuden arc in future releases.

Yeah I saw this on the Gamestop reserve list and wanted to know what was coming with it. Thanks!

By the way, the banner for the Official Thread is BADASS! :)

Who would have thought one of the most graphically impressive games created would be Naruto?

CyberConnect2 is probably one of the most underrated developers out there.
 
This game looks bonkers.. I like when he says "Lightning punch! Double Lightning punch!"

And are there any videos showing how Gaara plays? i saw a finisher video for him, but not much gameplay.

This is so retarded. WHY isn't this coming out on 360? WHY WHY WHY??

I don't want to own two consoles. It's too much.

Because Bandai has the rights to make Naruto on the PS consoles, and Ubisoft has them to do the 360 ones.
 
I guess I kinda knew that. But still, it's really annoying. The characters in the ubisoft version look really terrible.

This just hit me though, can you imagine what a Ubi Naruto would look like running on the new Prince of Persia engine?

Probably the same. The 360 game (and the sequel) has enough tech there to look nice, and in a way it does, but it ends up looking a tad messy because they made bad choices aesthetically.
 
lol

You know what's funny? The cutscenes and battles in the game are far more epic and dynamic than what actually happens in the anime itself. I wonder who the cutscene/art director is.

Like, for example, the fight between Naruto and Gaara doesn't happen at sunset (in the anime), it occurs midday, blue sky and all, but this is so much more epic :lol

That, and more importantly, the animation here blows Ubi's Naruto games out of the water. It's really insane what they've done with this game's animation.

This game has a RPG-like/adventure mode, yeah?

there was a video a while back showing the slick menu system, and how they have an openworld mission system type of thing, didn't they? Kinda similar to the Ubi game.

I think part of it is the fact that they did faked blur, imitating techniques in 2D animation. If you watch the past trailers and just go frame-by-frame, its interesting to see where they cheated, why, and how, for the result they got.

lite exploring in the Village. making different ramens for more skills and items. talking to NPC for missions. leveling up skills and stuff.

but it's mainly a fighter at heart broken up into missions.
 
Ubi needs to take note. I hope the stuff they showed was just really really really early footage. The animation was so stiff.

Btw, is it just me, or is the freeze frame thing Ubisoft does really annoying? You know, like in RoaN, when you punch someone, the screen shakes but it also freezes a little bit, I guess so you can "feel" the punch. But it's really annoying. It makes the game look clunky and slow. The freeze time is too long.

Watch some youtube videos to see what Im talking about

Mmm. Its funny, Japanese devs get that stuff right, like in the DMC series, but when it comes to western devs, either the action is lacking in that category, or its for too long D: What's up with that.

Well, I'm sure it just something people get used to over time, though.
 
Might be the best anime based game ever (as far as quality goes).

Official Thread coming in a couple of weeks. Hope you like it!

Can't wait!

This game looks amazing, and I had fun with the demo. I don't know if I'll spring for the LE, but I'll be picking this up for sure. November can't come soon enough!
